A dangerously charming, intensely obsessive young man goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by.
As a popular TV series, 'You' revolves around Joe Goldberg, a dangerously charming and obsessive individual who uses social media and the internet to stalk women he becomes infatuated with. He then manipulates his way into their lives, eliminating obstacles, including people, that stand in his way. The narrative typically follows his perspective, revealing his twisted justifications for his increasingly violent actions.
As the series has progressed, 'You' has been generally praised for its engaging premise, compelling lead performance by Penn Badgley, and its often darkly humorous exploration of modern dating and technology's role in stalking. However, it has also faced criticism for potentially romanticizing a stalker and for its repetitive narrative structure in later seasons.
Google audience: Audiences generally find 'You' to be a gripping and entertaining watch, particularly enjoying the psychological thriller aspect and Joe's complex character. Some viewers express concern over the show's portrayal of obsessive behavior, while others appreciate its commentary on digital privacy and modern relationships.
The show is based on the novels 'You', 'Hidden Bodies', and 'You Love Me' by Caroline Kepnes, which explore the same characters and themes.
